Why do you travel?
I like to step outside of my comfort zone and what I’m used to to be exposed to new ideas and experiences. I hate routine.
How would you describe Paris to someone who’s never been?
Pride, history and narrative everywhere.
What was the best thing you ate / saw / experienced on the trip?
A man playing the guitar I couldn’t hear on a subway car across from the one I was on.
What took you to Tokyo?
I was on tour with my friends who are artists. This was my third time. I just love the bright lights, the fast pace and how despite all that, it still feels peaceful.
Is there anyone you met on your trip that’s made a lasting impression?
No. I’m a quiet person at heart but should talk to people more.
What’s in your camera collection?
Leica M6, Mamiya 7ii, Contax G2 & T3, Canon 1dx, Hasselblad 503cw, and a Leica Q.
What’s next for Ellington?
I want to shoot for publications and also write an original short film.
